Robert,
We are now into the realm of overlap. I was reviewing Semmer last night, and on pages 222 and 223 he shows a rather unusual CEO-Grade Pigeon Gun with the "improved lock" and serial number 132037. Charles also did an article on this Pigeon Gun in The Double Gun Journal, Volume Five, Issue 2, Page 138.
I passed on that gun at a Richmond, Virginia, gun show years ago because to my eye it was obviously restocked. My only other opportunity at a Remington Pigeon Gun was also many years ago at a Pikesville, Maryland, gun show where "The Dutchman" had a well used straight grip DEO-Grade Pigeon Gun, but it had been fitted with an aftermarket safety, so I passed again. That gun must have disappeared into someones gun safe, as I've not seen it surface again.
